Witnessing hope through statistics
Hope shines bright at Krysalis
Every individual we support has their own story, their own challenges, and their own victories - no matter if they are living with a brain injury, neurological condition or neurodivergent diagnosis.
While discussing hope this Christmas, we decided to look at a randomly selected group* of individuals referred to our income protection vocational rehabilitation service, and we discovered some very hopeful statistics.
Every rehabilitation journey is unique, however many individuals within this service experienced stabilisation or improvement in areas important to their daily lives, such as...
- Memory challenges: 87% improved or stabilised
- Neurological fatigue: 96% improved or stabilised
- Low mood/depression: 90% improved or stabilised
- Anxiety and well-being: 92% reported improved or stable well-being
- Mobility challenges: 89% improved or stabilised
A brain injury doesn't mean you've reached the end of your book, instead it's just the beginning of a new chapter. 
Additionally, greater than half the total of individuals who started the year facing moderate to severe difficulties told us that at least one of those challenges became mild or no longer a problem by the end of their Krysalis programme, allowing them to lead a more fulfilling life and realise their potential.
And when looking at a specific condition, such as stroke, the statistics revealed more than half of stroke survivors who engaged in Krysalis intervention experienced improvement in their neurological fatigue symptoms.
We have also seen many individual achievements of our beneficiaries getting back to the activities and roles that they loved prior to Krysalis intervention.
One individual who worked in education resumed his role full-time after a graded return to work and also achieved a promotion. Another individual whose goal was to walk his dog more now has the strategies and tools in place to make this goal a reality, and has also been active in a volunteering role before he returns to a paid role.
Another spent three months with a Krysalis neurological occupational therapist and is now work ready after being able to understand and manage his stroke symptoms better. A woman who missed her fast-paced career returned to full-time work and was also successful in applying to a new role within her company after six months of Krysalis intervention.
The support has been hugely appreciated in terms of making me human again; helping me to return to work at full-time hours, and helping me understand my pace is different now, and I'm good with it.
We are inspired and full of hope after seeing these statistics, and our goal for 2026 is to continue spreading this hope by sharing more wonderful data that highlights just how important realising potential and transforming lives is to us at Krysalis.
